Inter defender appears to be not at all intimidated by the impending Derby d'Italia vs Juventus

He believes his team will be able to rise up to the challenge and even probably beat the Old Lady

The two teams will meet Friday night in another installment of the legendary Derby d'Italia and the 26-year-old ex-Feye and Lazio defender appears to be more than confident Internazionale will be able to rise up to literally any challenge:

“We are on the right track. Even if we lost against Tottenham and drew with Roma, we saw improvements within the team. said de Vrij, who joined Internazionale this summer after 4 seasons at SS Lazio.

Miranda has to start against Juve imo. He has always done well against them , and he knows Ronaldo better than anyone on the team. Its also a chance to rest De Vrij/Skriniar ahead of next week's decisive game.#FCIM

“We took the lead twice against Roma and unfortunately weren't able to kill the game off. Roma played well too, it was a balanced encounter, but we really wanted to win it.

“It is going to be very important against Juventus, also for our position in the table. It'll be tough because Juve are strong, but so are we. We'll take them on with full confidence in our own capabilities."

Internazionale are currently sitting 11 points behind Bianconeri, so the team would try their best for at least a tie at the Allianz Arena.
